What Are the 72 Other Genders?

In today’s age, one does not need to fit in with regards to their choices, including their gender identity.

• Gender is no more regarded as a binary concept where one can either be a male or a female.
• It has emerged as a continuum or spectrum where one can identify themselves as any of the gender identities.

The term gender identity means how a person identifies themselves concerning their gender. It may be regardless of their anatomy or genetics. Thus, a person may identify themselves as male, female, none, both, or some other category independent of their genitals.

The idea is to make everyone feel comfortable in their skin irrespective of what gender they were assigned at birth.

Your child may have questions about gender identity at any stage of life:

• Age 2 to 3: Children know the difference between a boy and a girl at this age. They may start to see themselves as either a girl or a boy regardless of their sexual anatomy. They may even assume other genders, which are still normal and healthy.
• Age 4 to 5: At this age, your child understands their gender identity. However, the older they grow, the more conscious they become of gender roles, expectations, and stereotypes. For example, they believe that certain toys or clothes are only for boys or girls. At this age, your child may start to express their gender more confidently, like preferring to wear dresses every day or refusing to wear dresses at all.
• Age 6 to 7: Children are more confident about themselves and their gender identity and are less afraid of expressing their gender because they know everyone sees them as girls or boys. However, children who see themselves as different from their assigned sex at birth may experience social anxiety and distress when they realize they can't fit in either category.
• Eight years and above: Some children will experience a gender crisis at this age where they begin to feel that they are different from the person they were identified to be at birth. During preteen or teenage years, your child may start to question their gender.
